WAG 06-09-05-a: Postpartum Coverage

Approve Moms and Babies during the 60-day postpartum period, for a woman who is no longer pregnant when she applies but is eligible for Moms and Babies.

Example 1: A woman who is no longer pregnant applies 07/14/02. The pregnancy ended 04/11/02. The woman is found eligible for Moms and Babies starting 04/02. Since the woman is eligible for Moms and Babies as a pregnant
woman, she is eligible for the 60-day postpartum coverage.

Example 2: A woman who is no longer pregnant applies 08/31/02. The pregnancy ended 04/11/02. The woman is ineligible for the 60-day postpartum coverage because she could not establish Moms and Babies eligibility as a pregnant
woman during the month of application or within 3 months before the month of application.
